<div><p>A Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is a platform-specific compiler that
generates machine instructions for each method as needed.</p>
<p>For more information about using the JIT compiler, and about the difference
between the JIT compiler and direct processing, see the following pages:</p>
<blockquote> <p><a href="runtperf.htm">Java™ runtime performance considerations</a>.</p>
<p><a href="jitde.htm">Comparison of the JIT compiler and direct processing</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The default setting for <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> is
to interpret (not compile) Java methods by using the Mixed-Mode Interpreter
(MMI). MMI profiles each Java method as it interprets it. After reaching
the threshold specified by the os400.jit.mmi.threshold property, MMI then
specifies that <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> use
the JIT compiler to compile the method.</div>
<p>For more information, see the entries for the java.compiler property and
the os400.jit.mmi.threshold property in the appropriate list of Java system
properties:</p>

SDK (J2SDK), Standard Edition</a></p>
